, a Warnock victory in Georgia would make it considerably easier for Democrats to pass progressive legislation by reducing their reliance on conservative Democrats in the Senate. There are also a couple other crucial benefits that could be a game changer for the Democrats: judges and long-term control of the Senate.for next two years at much greater speed.
Another issue top of mind for Democrats is the 2024 Senate map, which some analysts are already calling a for the Democrats. That year, Democrats will be defending about two-thirds of the seats up for re-election, and many Republicans will be defending safe red seats. In other words,this year will have long-term payoffs for helping Democrats minimize their losses or maintaining a narrow majority in the next election cycle. In a legislative chamber where just one or two lawmakers can make or break a presidency, that’s a big deal.
With Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto’s successful re-election bid in Nevada, Democrats retained narrow control of the Senate, given Vice President Kamala Harris’ tiebreaking vote. If Warnock were to also win re-election, the party’s edge would increase to 51 - 49.having such an edge truly matters because it would reduce the ability of the Senate’s two conservative Democrats, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, “to play the obstruction game.
